Bellydancers who were on Biz of Bellydance will get that reference.

Undercutting is not allowed. Flat out. Making "sample sizes" is not allowed. It MUST be in its original packaging. You cannot reduce the size of the adhesive and repackage it. You cannot sell Eye Kandy if you are not an authorized distributor OR you do not have an arrangement with a distributor to have a display in your store.

You cannot sell your own custom blends online, in a store, or advertise them. Glitter Raks has express permission from Eye Kandy's mothership AND it's non-profit. If you wish to do a custom blend or have questions about it, e-mail me and I'll go through the explanation on how it can be done. For instance, Shimmies for a Cure wanted one for a fundraiser. I blended it, sent it out to her, and voila. She sold it at her charity events. Easy, everything under regulation, so it's not a nightmare of paperwork--just a way of making sure the integrity of the company stays intact. I'm a blending machine, along with my amazing Marta. You send it, we can usually match it. No more expensive, just requires you sending me an e-mail and voila. Off you go, and you can advertise and sell it away--and I let Eye Kandy mothership know what's going on in case someone e-mails them and asks for that specific color. OR I can put it on my site for Glitter Raks with a link that goes directly to you. Easy. Just, again, as long as it's a charity event and you let me know, it's not a problem usually.

YOU CANNOT UNDERCUT THE MSRP. NONONONO. MSRP is NOT "suggested" in terms of "you can go lower."

So, I have gotten several e-mails where people have gotten Eye Kandy cheaper than MSRP, OR have been on eBay and seen it lower than MSRP and distributors have thus lost sales to it.

I hate to sound catty, but now is the time to out them. You see an undercutter, out them here, especially an eBay distributor of Eye Kandy. It's against company policy, and we have the company's integrity and best interest, as well as our own, at heart, so, if you find an undercutter, out them here.

Free shipping is NOT undercutting. Nor is free gift wrapping.

THE ONLY RULE: Ensure it's not an accident--typo, new distributor who didn't know (I, at first, had the wrong MSRP for the kit, so I totally did that at first!!!), etc. If it's a repeat offender or someone who has ignored your contacts, go for it.

If only we bellydancers could do the same...*sighs wistfully*...
